What Can You Do with a Home Equity Line of Credit scaled

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is one of the lowest-cost sources of funding available to homeowners. Unlike a loan, which provides a lump sum of funds and a fixed interest rate, a home equity line of credit is a revolving credit line. It allows the borrower to take out money against the credit line up to a preset limit, make payments, and then take money out again as needed. The rate is variable.

Despite some rumblings about increases, interest rates remain low. So securing a HELOC may be a good way for homeowners to reach other personal or financial goals. Homeowners regularly use them to:

  • Make home improvements
  • Pay tuition
  • Consolidate debt
  • Set aside emergency cash
  • Start a business
  • Take a vacation

GRB is offering a HELOC special with a low introductory rate and flexible terms.

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether a HELOC is a good borrowing option. Think about how you will use the money, what might happen to interest rates, your long-term financial plans, and your tolerance for risk with a HELOC’s adjustable rates.

Contact a GRB Personal Banker to discuss your goals and how a HELOC may be part of the solution.
